What is AI literacy in schools?

AI literacy in schools helps students understand what artificial intelligence can do, recognize its strengths and limitations, question and verify AI-generated information, protect personal data, and use AI as a creative tool without replacing independent thinking.

Does Vibe Coding MKE offer an AI literacy curriculum for schools?

Yes. Vibe Coding MKE provides a practical AI literacy curriculum for schools covering AI foundations, responsible use, prompting, community problem solving, application building with Base44, and student presentation and reflection. Programs can be adapted to different grade ranges and schedules.

Are there AI literacy programs in Milwaukee for adults?

Yes. Vibe Coding MKE offers adult training in Milwaukee for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, and professionals who want to learn vibe coding and build working applications with Base44 without a traditional coding background.

Can a business sponsor a student cohort?

Yes. Businesses, foundations, and community partners can sponsor student seats, a classroom experience, a school program, or a complete community cohort to help more Milwaukee students become AI builders.
